The snowy setting of Private's Alpine Sex reminds us of the sacrifices sex professionals make for their art. Set in a ski resort, the majority of scenes here take place outside, in the snow, where it must be very, very cold. The attractive European players manage to generate a fair amount heat in conditions that would have most people running into the lodge for a hot cocoa.

Other than the joys of watching porn stars try not to shiver, adult video aficionados will dig these perfect, Nordic snow bunnies. Every woman on this tape is hot enough to be a contract star at an American company, but these gals are the furthest thing from the ice-princess-style porn chicks so ubiquitous these days. European babes seem down for just about anything a pervy mind could dream up - anal, facials, d.p.s, A2M's, scum swapping, etc.

The snow/cold setting, while certainly novel, ultimately takes away from the passion of the sex scenes however, and perhaps that's what makes these couplings seem a little bit by-the-numbers. Another negative note - bad dubbing. The brief dialogue scenes are as campy as a '70s karate flick.
